An entirely "plugged in" program of works by Santiago Diez-Fischer, Luca Francesconi, Michael Edwards and two premieres by Aaron Einbond! We are grateful to the ESB Basel for hosting us and are happy to work with Justin Robinson, Till Zehnder, and Clemens Fiechter on this program as well as to Volker Böhm, who will join us for an improvisation.

The tale of Orpheus performed along a walking route through forests, across bridges, inside cavernous grottos and among industrial ruins. We performed modern adaptations, by Erik Oña, Mario Pagliarani and Claire-Melanie Sinnhuber, of arias by Giulio Caccini and Jacapo Peri together with Livia Radio, and Fulvio Bettini.

Presenting a diverse programme of new works that investigate the nature of a word: its transience, multiple meanings, narrativity, and structure. As part of an intercultural exchange, Japanese composers Chikako Morishita and Yukiko Watanabe are working together with Dr Aaron Einbond, lecturer at City, University of London, and in close collaboration with the performers to develop new pieces for this programme.

Two New has curated a programme of recently composed works that experiment with temporal perception through the synchronisation and juxtaposition of contrasting musical and physical elements. With works by Steen-Andersen, Santiago Diez Fischer, Kenn Kumpf, Ricardo Eizirik. Featuring Swiss premieres by Manfred Stahnke and Beat Gysin and a world premiere by Einar Torfi Einarsson.

In the programmed works: stasis evokes movement, calmness emerges from hyperactivity, repetition is both controlling and controlled, microtonality is a stabilizing and destabilizing force, and memory is relied upon and undermined. The result is a dynamic choreography of time.

Tuesday, December 13th: we are presenting our programme "Choreography of Time" at the Unerhörte Musik series in BKA Theater, Berlin. With music by Simon Steen-Andersen, Hanna Eimmermacher, Ricardo Eizirik, Timothy McCormack, Caspar Johannes Walter, Chikako Morishita and world premieres by Beat Gysin and Manfred Stahnke!

Thanks to our friend and collaborator Aaron Einbond, we have been invited to workshop pieces and sketches with the composition students at City, University of London! More than twenty compositions in two days, it was a treat to work with so many talented young composers.

In the moderated concert “Choreography of Time” PLAY Plattform presents to the Frankfurt audience a program performed by Two New. In the brand new program we will explore movement in music. At times the movement is a physical connection between the bodies of the performers and the bodies of the instruments; sometimes the choreography concerns structural elements of the composition. Each piece offers a different glimpse of motion turned into music. Between the performances by duo “Two New” Michael Gross & Kamil Mrozowski will perform dance Solos. All the performers taking part in PLAY with by bodypainted by artist Dirk Baumanns.

Two New presents a short programme of duo works in the Darmstadt Ferien Kursen 2016 as part of the Open Spaces, with works by Simon Steen-Andersen, Hanna Eimmermacher, Caspar Johannes Walter, and Chikako Morishita
